One of the most well designed and perfect creatures in magic. It's color-pie true, it's very powerful, it's in it's shard, it's flavorful, and it's beautiful.
Powerful because it:
-trades with some 4 and 5 drops
-only eats life when you need it to
-is a fast clock
-is only a 2 drop
Flavorful because it sucks health (sacrifice for power = B, sucking health for pump makes sense for the creature)
In the color pie because:
-nasty leech fits GB
-B sacrifice for power
-G above the curve creature; wins combats like a beast
-G (and somewhat B) because it's a pump effect
In the shard out side of that?
-Notice how it's R,G, and B in it's color scheme: Meant for jund, even in the artwork
-It's pure aggression

You don't need lifelink on this guy. Play another one for a quick win.
Did you see this guy in standard jund when it was alara+zendikar? That was ridiculous.
Turn 2, this guy
Turn 3, blightning
Turn 4, bloodbraid elf, cascade into blightning
Scoop.

Fantastic for B/G decks in general, but I would not put this in dredge.
